Background of Mwana Group (Pvt Ltd)
Mwana Group Pvt Ltd is a Zimbabwean Company founded by Dr. Kuda Mutenda in 2017 and registered in 2019. Mwana Group’s four pillars of focus are Manufacturing, Construction, Service and Philanthropic activities, it intends to be an enabler of the socio-economic development of Zimbabwe. Operationally the company is the only manufacturer of automotive filters in Zimbabwe and has slowly progressed into one of the biggest automotive spare parts distributors in Zimbabwe. Mwana Group Pvt Ltd currently has five branches spread across Zimbabwe covering all the major economic hubs in the country in the following fields:
- Leasing of earth moving vehicles and equipment
- Supports construction companies with yellow machines as well as buses
- Garage that specialises in servicing Mercedes Benz vehicles
Why are we constructing a metal foundry in Zimbabwe?
From local scrap metal to high quality automotive components:
This crowdfunding initiative is intended to accelerate the growth of our company’s manufacturing footprint and also fill a gap in the technological development of Zimbabwe. The country currently exports scrap metals at less than 20c per kg while importing finished metal products at more than US$3/kg. Dr Mutenda recognises the current lopsided set up as grossly disadvantageous to Zimbabwe and unsustainable in the long term. This feeds into perennial national imbalance of payments, lack of development and contributes to high poverty levels in the country. The bridge the gap Dr Mutenda intends to construct a state of the art metal foundry that will be smelting local scrap metal and machining it into high value automotive components such as filters, brake discs, pistons, cylinders and engine blocks.
How much is required to bring the metal foundry to life?
The project requires a total of only US$100,000 (one hundred thousand) to kick off. We are looking for ideally 100 investors to put together US$1000 (one thousand) each. Please note that the minimum investment is US$1000. The target figure of US$100k will be utilised as follows:
- US$61,000 CAPEX for tooling, machinery and structure construction
- US$39,000 working capital for raw materials, energy and other operational expenses
We require a small initial investment as we already own the land, already have qualified experts within our structure. And more importantly we already have a ready market for the products through our nationwide distribution network in Zimbabwe. After 2-3 years, Mwana Group will scale up the project as we develop the distribution channel to include export into regional Southern African markets.
